THE VOICE CONNECTION
SOUND OFF

Welcome to The Voice Connection Sound Off; a forum for users of books like Raise Your Voice, Melody to Madness, The Ultimate Breathing Workout, and Unleash Your Creative Mindset, as well as a place for Vendera Vocal Academy members to interact.

This message board was created so that singers could come together and "sound off" to help support each other during vocal development and the creative process of unleashing the creative spark that occurs when writing and producing music. Currently, myself and vocal coaches Ben Valen, Ray West, and Ryan Wall are here to respond periodicially to your questions, with new vocal coaches coming soon. But, feel free to help each other too:)

This board is here for you to ask questions about my and my fellow coach's books, videos, and MP3 programs, as well as offer others help with our vocal techniques. You may also post videos of yourself and your band to share your music and ask for critiques.

Please refrain from negative comments, profanities, spamming, and inappropriate criticisms of vocal methodologies, vocal coaches, and singers. All negative posts will be deleted and subject to banning without question. I will not respond to negative posts, because, as Mark Twain once said, “Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience.” With that said, positive criticism is welcome because that is how you'll grow as a singer during the training process.

Re: Check this out, classically trained singer gives comments on 5 metal singers!

Jens my friend, shall we agree to disagree.


With which part? That singing is about taste? Of course it is, like all art, that's an indisputable fact. If it wasn't, every singer with good or even great technique would be amazing to listen to. Quite a few have impeccable technique and are boring as hell, as they don't really know what to do with it.

Re: Check this out, classically trained singer gives comments on 5 metal singers!

No you are wrong, heck im a metalgeek but even i can admit that other genre's produce atleast just as good singers as metal or rock in general.
Just check out the singers in the musical scene, Gospel, Soul...

Well most rock singers arent that versatile, they know there ****, but would sound crap in an other genre.

The "medival" approach is thesedays workedinto almost all new approaches to vocaltechnique, I mean comeon...
Breathtechnique is medival?

Im not gonna go intothis anydeeper you are to narrowminded, once you understand singing is a matter of taste then come and we can talk.

"I'm a metalgeek" - Oh really, please to meet you

Again You are, and all the way my friend :D; you obviously don't understand the word of what I'm talking about... I mean what're you talking about :) , you're totally misunderstanding everything... while I'm saying and covering with facts something that is true in terms of technique and performance progression in this area; you're lying in your subjective/taste box and by wrong/missed interpretation of my words waste your own time.. I labeled it as medieval in that means if you want to learn higher standards of singing only within classical approach so you do need a lot more knowledge and progression from that style, bro step out from the box - I mean you don't understand a heck of what I'm talking about, so please man stop bothering; you're acting more like a Britney's fan than a singer without offense :D

Re: Check this out, classically trained singer gives comments on 5 metal singers!

Metal and rock does not produce better singers than any other genre, since it's all a matter of taste.
Thats basicly what i am saying... If your speaking strictly vocaltechnque sure then you can say rocksingers are better.
But vocaltechnique and who's a better Singer is two diffrent things.

"you're acting more like a Britney's fan than a singer without offense :D"

Britney rocks best singer on earth!

Im not gonna bother you anymore... stay in your box

Re: Check this out, classically trained singer gives comments on 5 metal singers!

No offense intended but metalheads are really well known for being stubborn and idolize the music they like. The fact that metal produces better singers is obviously pretentious, don´t get me wrong, I love metal, and metal singers kick ass but, that affirmation is way too much. Better singers in rock music perhaps.

Re: Check this out, classically trained singer gives comments on 5 metal singers!

Yeah, I think you (MetalVocalist) are elevating Metal higher than it is.

Re: Check this out, classically trained singer gives comments on 5 metal singers!

when she said "i wish rob halford would come to me for lessons" or somethign to that effect i'm thinking "whoa hold on" halfords fine the way he is! all of these dudes are, why do they need "extra training?" remove the little mistakes and they become boring and "too perfect"

Re: Check this out, classically trained singer gives comments on 5 metal singers!
